I like this quote from Rep. Jaime Raskin

Really American 🇺🇸

Rep. Jamie Raskin: "You put your hand on the Bible and swore to uphold the Constitution. You didn't put your hand on the Constitution and swear to uphold the Bible."

Everyone needs to hear this.

1. Excellent quote!

[crickets]

2. I have to write that one down.

I wish there were some context about when Raskin said this and to whom. Great quote - thanks so much for this.

3. Raskin is my go-to guy!

Always so well-spoken and spot-on.

4. Excellent quote!

Jamie Raskin has gone from being almost under my radar to Top Twenty with a bullet. (That's a music charting reference, btw...nothing at all to do with guns.)

He has a great head on his shoulders and his heart is totally in the right place. A few score more like him in federal govt. and America would be much the better for it.

8. An oldie but a goodie.

The classics never go out of style.

9. K & R!

I've never heard this before, but it's perfect.

10. Yeah magats swore.

The only thing they uphold is Fascism

11. It's clever but including the bible in the swearing in ceremony is a big part of the problem.

It implies that there is a biblical/christian component to serving.
